Numvra Login Attempt Limiter
Numvra Login Attempt Limiter
Description
Counts failed logins and locks out the address that keeps guessing, with a log of what was tried and a longer lockout each time it comes back.
- Locks an address out after N failures inside a window you choose
- Each repeat makes the next lockout longer, so a bot gives up before you do
- A log of every failed attempt: when, from where, and which username was tried
- Unlock an address in one click when it was you
- An allowlist, so a mistyped password can never lock you out of your own site
- Replaces WordPress’s error message, which otherwise confirms that a username exists
- A successful sign-in clears that address’s record
- History pruned automatically after the number of days you set
Fully translatable. Translations are handled by translate.wordpress.org,
so no language files ship with the plugin.
Installation
- In the WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
- Upload numvra-login-attempt-limiter.zip and activate it.
- Open Tools Login Attempts.
Faq
No. The plugin is plain PHP, it makes no outbound request and it bundles no
third-party library.
Administrator only.
